As part of our Reader Question series we encourage you to send in questions that you would like us to discuss on our blog. This week we have a question from a DVD client asking if barre workouts get rid of cellulite.

Reader Question from Michelle E: Will barre workouts get rid of cellulite?

Our clients have reported great results in reducing cellulite due to our unique combination of cardio and strength training. Cellulite is essentially compartmentalized fat cells within connective tissue. Although heredity plays a major part in body composition as well as in the number and positioning of fat cells, studies have shown that skin tone can be improved by doing daily cardio, strength training 3 days a week, and by eating a healthy diet.

Exercise programs that are limited to cardio will reduce fat, but without adding smooth muscle tissue, the appearance of the skin will remain unchanged. Dieting alone is ineffective because muscle is lost along with fat, which results in lowering the metabolism, or the fat burning potential. Therefore to see the most change, one needs to focus on burning calories, creating lean muscle tissue, and eating healthily.

Physique 57 is a comprehensive, full body workout. We target each muscle group from every angle for maximum toning and sculpting in 360 degrees. Our small repetitive movements accompanied by larger full body movements not only penetrate deep in the body of the muscle but also challenge the more superficial muscle fibers. So if you are looking to attack cellulite, Physique 57 is the perfect weapon.
